Notes: Neutral toned print on glossy ferrotyped double weight paper with margins. American photographer, active in New York City and Hollywood. Arthur Fellig, known as Weegee professionally, is noted for his photographs depicting crime and other newsworthy events, usually taken at night. His early career was spent as a freelance press photographer. He prided himself on his ability to arrive at the scene of a crime before the police, and derived his name from the phonetic pronunciation of the Ouija board. He sold his images to tabloid newspapers from 1935 through the 1940s, and published his first book, Naked City in 1945, followed by Weegee's People in 1946. Naked City was a commercial success and guaranteed his income. At this point he began taking portraits of celebrities and figures in the entertainment industry. He used a variety of trick lenses to distort and manipulate these images, and often exposed or exagerrated the imperfections of his subjects. He experimented with infrared film and flash to make exposures in darkness, particularly of people in darkened movie theaters. Weegee used a 4x5 Speed Graphic press camera and flash exclusively throughout his career; and is not known for his printing virtuosity, but for the elements of social critique in his photographs. He was a flamboyant character, and revelled in his own notoreity and mythology. (source: Getty Museum)

Supposed to be "in the style of Weegee"--I don't know about that, but I think Midjourney nailed Deborah Harry's look and feel.

"Designed by architect Matti Suuronen, Futuro is an elliptical house built of plastic elements that captures the experimental shapes, new materials and optimistic ideas of space-age architecture and design in the late 1960s."
You probably didn't know that Leonar Nimoy (actor of Spock) is "close relative" of mine. He is my cousin's friend's grandmother's friend's son.
From Finnish Toy Museum, Mission in Space exhibition.
